15 Sounds interesting, thanks for the info!

17 I might provide the user both a physical storage (at my place) and the
18 amazon s3.
19
20 This way the user will be able to use the local one for 90% of his
21 needs, integrated in the web interface he alredy knows and uses everyday
22 (or maybe a knowledgtree installation would be even better), and a link
23 for "fast downloads", near every file that will connect directly to the
24 amazon server.
25
26 If I set up a script to keep in sync my local storage and the amazon
27 one, the user will be able to reduce the costs (only download from
28 amazon when really needed), and will not have to bother learning a new
29 interface.

31 Thank you again!
